Fire System Certification Service

Fire Suppression System: Inspection and Certification

Today, some of the most well-known and reputed restaurants in Denver use Nationwide Fire Protection (NFP) to not just service and maintain the fire suppression system but also for fire system certification.

Running a restaurant, food preparation service or a large commercial kitchen comes with multiple challenges. The most important of these is to ensure the safety of the employees as well as the visitors to a restaurant. Fire accidents can happen anytime without giving you much time to take manual action. That is why it is crucial to have a highly responsive and efficient fire suppression system. In the event of a fire, you want your fire system to get activated at a moment’s notice. That is exactly why you need to use a fire system certification service.

A fire suppression system isn’t just the sprinklers and extinguishers. Contrary to what many people might think, a fire system consists of several components that together work to suppress fire. Depending on the specific needs of a commercial kitchen, a fire suppression system engineer crafts a solution that includes many parts, all integrated into one.

Various components of a fire system may include:

• Fire detection system
• Fire alarm
• Fire pumps
• Fire suppression system
• Fire sprinklers
• Fire extinguishers
• Emergency lights
• Self-contained breathing apparatus
• Card access system

The first and the most important group of components in a fire suppression system are called active components.

Inspecting the effectiveness of a fire suppression system begins with the fire detection system. Whether or not your restaurant’s fire system is up to the mark depends on the quality of the detection system. The function of the detection system is to look for signs of fire including heat and smoke among others. After the alarm is triggered, multiple devices are used to put out the fire. If the fire extinguishers fail to put out the fire, the entire suppression system becomes active. An effective, approved and certified fire suppression system makes it easy for fire professionals to perform their job in order to protect people and assets.

Apart from the active components, a well-designed fire suppression system includes many passive components. These may include fire-stops, grease ducts, firewalls etc. The role of these components is to slow down the spread of fire so that the fire doesn’t reach high risk materials.

It is the responsibility of a business owner to protect their people and business assets. If you are looking for a professional fire system certification service, you should give Nationwide Fire Protection a quick call.
